RIDDLE SOLVED!!

Before you get your child a dog which he/she asks for, or another serious animal, it is good to put him/her to a test by getting a fish tank. I saw this view a few times for several weeks and always asked the student to fill it up. To no avail. Finally I threatened to bring the bottle and fill the tank with water myself and it worked at last.

Twice a year I organize my papers. I take the giant pile of papers from the shelf and start dividing it into smaller piles. Then they land in seperate files. I hate it - I am sick having to do it.

Funny custom - making letters heavier by attaching a metal plate onto them. Thus a private mail company is trying to get around the existing regulations with the state Post Office still holding a monopoly on light mail. They are going to court to decide if it is legal.

Well...it seems to me that if you ORGANIZED as you went along and didn't just throw the papers into one pile on the shelf, you would not end up with a huge mess twice a year! Invest in a file cabinet, for goodness sake; make your life easier!! ;D ;D ;D (Or is that a "guy-thing"....not being able to organize regularly???) ;D ;D ;D

I have two cabinets, in fact.

You seem not to understand. I hate organizing my papers twice a year but compared to organizing them every day, it is a fascinating job.

For further explanation: I do make my life easier by putting this shit on the shelf and distributing it when the heap grows too big or when Christmas or Easter comes. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I hate regular organization. Do I look or sound like some disciplined but boring German?

Nope, just a typical man...apologies to any male forum members who may be organized! ;D ;D ;D

Now look at my basement. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

During the year I throw stuff into it onto a big pile. Then, once a year, usually before Christmas, I tidy everything up and dispose of certain things, like empty boxes etc.
